The situation is perfect for an Istanbul visit especially with the tram being very close. Galata is a very lively place. We enjoyed the marvellous roof terrace. The room was extremly simple and the kitchen did not invite to be used. The ground floor room was dark during day and bright in the night due to light in the street.

The room is very nice, comfortable and clean.
The roof terrace offers stunning views of Istanbul. The area is quiet and close to the Galata Tower.
The only downside is the bathroom which is very damp and musty.

Dear Handan. Our room was good, but you cannot claim that it was bright. A wall a few meters in front of the windows was not attractive. The room and the kitchen / bathroom is lacking hooks to hang towels etc. and more lamps /bulps. Generally the 'kitchen' need a little more organising and improvements. Of course we enjoyed the terrases on top of the house.

the flat was in an amazing location and Handan was very nice and very detailed with everything.
We were 8 and we in an apartment with 4 rooms so it was ok, but I imagine being in one room sharing with other people might not be very comfortable as there is only one bathroom.
The rooftop was perfect and we had all the facilities around. Very happy, I recommend it.

We had a very good stay in Istanbul for several reasons. One of them was the pleasant stay in our room, situated in a nice part of istanbul in walking distance of everything you want so see. The room is nice and comfortable and if you enjoy the noises of the city which fells a sleep and wakes up again, it's the place to stay. You have to share the toilet and shower, but this was no problem because is was very clean. Breakfast is not included but you can take it within 100 meters around (and it's very cheap). We can recommend the kiosk downhill with fresh juices and tasty tosties. Next time we would go there again.

Handan's apartment wasn't what we expected. The entire building is rented out for guests on Airbnb or something similar. Feels a lot like a hostel as there are about 10 bedroom/apartments that are able to be rented at any time. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment, which had no living/kitchen area, and had a toilet/bathroom that was very smelly. We also arrived, and two their guests had their belongings in inside our apartment. Was not private at all. If your looking for a nice private apartment setting this is not for you. Other than that location was great, and rooftop terrace was lovely.
